JUST IN: ONDO SPEAKER, OLOYELOOGUN RESIGNS
Bamidele Oloyeloogun, the Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly, has stepped down from his role as the body’s top elected official.
A few days before the ninth Assembly’s expiration, this development occurred.
The letterhead of the House bearing the speaker’s signature and addressed to the Clerk of the House on January 6, 2023, contained the resignation. Our correspondent received access to the letter on Friday. Resignation as Speaker, Ondo State House of Assembly, was the document’s title.
The letter read, “Please permit me to inform you that I, Rt. Hon. Oleyelogun, Bamidele David, ceases to function as Speaker of the Ondo State House of Assembly. This follows my decision to resign from the position with effect from today (Thursday).
“As you are aware, this Honourable House has always discharged its constitutional obligations as one indivisible family. That was the spirit that propped me to the exalted position as Speaker. It is in light of that same spirit that I resign from the position.
“May I use this medium to express my appreciation to all my colleagues who have been wonderful partners in progress. I must say I enjoyed their enviable and uncommon support for the period held sway as Speaker, Ondo State House of Assembly. I will extend same level of support and loyalty to whoever succeeds me as Speaker of this Honourable House.
“Thanks, and please accept the assurances of my highest regards.”
